Cask Rye is the most powerful expression in the portfolio, designed for the serious whiskey enthusiast, and it won Double Gold with 96 points at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey is made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley and aged two years in new American white oak barrels. It is bottled at barrel strength, unfiltered and undiluted, so the pure intensity of the barrel comes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is bottled at cask strength, the flavors are concentrated and robust: bold rye spice and pepper on the nose, caramel sweetness and baking spice on the palate, and a long finish with a hint of smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRod \u0026amp; Hammer's Cask Rye rewards a slow pour. Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water or a single large ice cube to open up the caramel and spice. Its high proof makes it a superb backbone for a Manhattan, a Sazerac or a Vieux Carré, where it holds its own against vermouth and bitters, and it makes a bold Old Fashioned with demerara syrup. Pair it with smoked brisket, grilled steak, aged gouda, dark chocolate or a slice of pecan pie. For rye fans and California craft lovers, it is a standout gift and a great bottle to share with friends who like big flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold rye spice, pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel sweetness, baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, hint of smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e SLO Stills, San Luis Obispo, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95% rye, 5% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years, new American white oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel-strength straight rye, unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112 proof (56% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat with a few drops of water, or stir a Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e95% rye and 5% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow strong is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e112 proof (56% ABV), barrel strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHas it won awards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, Double Gold with 96 points at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rod \u0026 Hammer's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083121094965,"sku":"VWS200433994","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-33720.webp?v=1793992297","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/rod-hammers-slo-stills-cask-rye-straight-rye-whiskey-112-proof-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
